Favorite Grinder Features

TLDR: I am designing a 2x72 grinder and would like to hear about your favorite, or least favorite grinder features and details.

Hi All,

After a year or so of working with a 2x42 grinder (and files) I've decided to go a head and build a proper 2x72 unit. My motivations for this are two fold. First, I've been playing with finger grooves a bit more and would like a bit more control of the radii I cut. More importantly though, there's been an upswing in interest among my fellow students and it's gotten to the point where grinder time is becoming the limiting factor in how many people can be involved.

To that end, I'd love to hear about any features you've enjoyed having on grinders you have used. Your thoughts on what larger features are worth it, things like tilting or double arms would be very welcome, but i'm also really interested in what little details or attachments you've found notable.

I'll post a CAD of whatever I synthesize out of this thread, once it's more than just my best shot at a KMG clone.

Note: I'm new around here so if there's anything I should or shouldn't be doing let me know.

Best,
Jake
